SAFE SLEEP KENTUCKY

The Safe Sleep Campaign is a statewide effort to raise awareness of and help inform parents and other child caregivers of the importance of safe sleep for babies. 

Safe Sleep Kentucky seeks to prevent SIDS-related infant deaths by emphasizing ABCD, the four letters associated with the best practices to make sure infants sleep safely. 

A is for Alone - Stay close, sleep apart

B is for Back - On my back for night and naps

C is for Crib - In a Clean, Clear, Crib

D is for Danger - Be aware, not impaired. Drinking and drug use impair your ability to care for a baby, making bed-sharing and other unsafe sleep even more dangerous for the baby.
